Chapter Seventy-Three: Happening
In the following days, the ladies who met at the banquet that day would often come to the Qi Shifu when they had time, and when it was time to rest, Eruli would play around with his friends. For a while, the three Erluli brothers and sisters were busy studying, and they didn't forget to communicate and have fun with their friends, so they were very busy!
After the New Year's holiday, Qi Shi began to be busy with business again, in addition to being busy with the affairs of the military camp, he was also pulled by Li Fuyin to deal with the affairs of Chahar City, especially since that banquet, Li Fuyin likes to chat with Qi Shi more, exchange ideas, and often say that he can get some good ideas to solve things from Qi Shi, and Qi Shi is his mentor and friend.
In the blink of an eye, in February, the weather gradually warmed up, and the snow on the street gradually melted, making the road muddy.
As the city became cleaner and cleaner, the number of people coming and going in the city also increased. Lord Li Fu Yin learned from the methods of the city's transportation affairs organized and arranged by Qi Shi on the day of the banquet, and even let him make the Qing Dynasty version of the bus.
In the spring of this year, the government began to re-establish the special places for activities in the city, such as where to open markets, buy and sell goods, where to set up stalls and live for entertainers, and where to deal with coal, garbage, dung, and other things. No carriages outside the city were allowed to enter the city, but were to be parked at the guards' offices set up near the gates of the cities, and ten dollars were paid for every two hours, but there was a special person to take care of the horses. After entering the city, twenty or thirty large carriages with long boards were also parked in the city gates, each with number plates from one to six, and one was driven out every two quarters of an hour, and the people who got on the carriage were two cents each. These carriages are divided into six routes, passing through various yamen, major markets, scenic spots, downtown streets, residential areas and other places where people go a lot.
After a period of adaptation, these measures were basically approved by the people inside and outside the city, but some people thought that the carriage care fee was too expensive, and the practice of not allowing the carriage to enter the city caused inconvenience to the people, and questioned that the government was taking the opportunity to collect money. However, Li Bingjun and his subordinate officials have launched a series of measures to help the poor and the weak, so that these people will not be able to talk anymore.
The ownerless houses were opened to beggars, and the yamen did not take money from them, but required them to keep their houses stable and clean. At the same time, the price of a big broom per person and two steamed buns and a bowl of gruel per person per day was exchanged for these people to clean the streets and alleys. In this way, the beggars will not starve to death, and they will not lie on the side of the road because they have nothing to do. For ordinary civilians, it is to maintain a free clinic day every ten days.
Li Bingjun, the governor of the government, was rewarded by the officials for his outstanding political achievements, and wherever he went, his face revealed a high-spirited atmosphere. He himself didn't expect that he had just reported a few measures to his boss, such as buses and carriages, beggars sweeping the streets for food, and free clinics, but he was rewarded by his superiors. Drinking water and thinking about the source, how can he not be grateful to the person who gave him the idea of these measures - Qi Shi?
Time flies, on April 26 of the 28th year of Kangxi, there were Suo Etu, the minister of the guard, and the Duke Tong Guogang such as Dutong, as well as Dutong Langtan, Dutong Bandarshan, Heilongjiang General Sabusu, Commander of the Protector Army, Ma La, Lifan Yuan Lang Wenda, the translator Frenchman Zhang Cheng and Portuguese Xu Risheng, and some retinue officials, plus 1,500 Heilongjiang soldiers, the mighty delegation team set out from the capital and went to Nebuchu.
Nebuchu was closer to the capital than the last negotiation site, so the Qing Dynasty mission only took more than a month, arrived on June 15, this time it was Russia late, until the fifth day of the seventh month, after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides signed the first border treaty between China and Russia on July 24, the 28th year of Kangxi, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu.
The news of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu was learned by Qi Shi from a letter from his brother Peng Chun in Beijing and from Li Bingjun's mansion. Qi Shi was in a very low mood in those days. Hajlan naturally knows why Qi Shi has such a demeanor, she comes from modern times, and naturally knows this "Treaty of Nebuchu". Although generally considered an equal treaty, it is also considered by a significant number to be the first unequal treaty in China's modern history, because in this treaty, China gave up its territory from the Ergun River to Lake Baikal, which has since ancient times been inhabited by ethnic minorities in northeastern China, and since the Tang Dynasty, the Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties have exercised effective rule over the region, and the Ming Dynasty has established the Nuer Gandu Division there to govern it. And it was only in the early Qing Dynasty that some bandits wandered around Russia to colonize.
More importantly, China is the victorious side in the war with Russia, it is Russia that first seeks peace, and if it wins, it will cede territory, what is this not an unequal treaty? Since there are many people who think so in modern times, how can Qi Shi be happy? Especially now these are not the words in the history books, but the things that are watching it happen around me. When Emperor Kangxi ordered Suo Etu to talk with the Russian envoys in Nebuchu, Qi Shi couldn't help but feel anxious and wrote a rare excerpt, but unfortunately several excerpts were sunk into the sea, and finally the Kangxi boss was stunned and signed this treaty with a very bad reputation in later generations, when he knew the news of the signing of the treaty, Qi Shi's heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt! Helpless in the loss.
Hajlan, who was also in a bad mood, didn't know why Kangxi made such a decision, but Hajlan remembered that he had read a saying: because Kangxi didn't want to be entangled with Russia any more, because he didn't want to fight in the northwest and northeast at the same time, because the current rule of the Qing Dynasty was not so stable, and the signing of this treaty did ensure the stability and peace of China's northeast border for more than a hundred years, but whether it was worth it at the expense of his own territory, Hajlan had reservations, if the Qing Dynasty did not blindly worship horse shooting, If firearms are well developed, then no matter where the war is fought, it will not be so hard, and it will not lay the hidden danger of great humiliation for future generations of Chinese.
After the defeat of the Tsarist government in Yaxa, it was not reconciled, and in the 29th year of Kangxi, the second year after the signing of the "Treaty of Nebuchu", it instigated the leader of the Dzungar tribe, Galdan. Galdan, who was already ambitious, was ready to move again. Since he ruled the Dzungar tribes, he was the first to annex the other tribes of Moxi Mongolia, and now he is attacking Mobei Mongolia to the east. The Mongol resistance failed for a while, and hundreds of thousands of Mongols fled to Monan to ask the Qing government for protection.
In July of the 29th year of Kangxi, when Galdan invaded Uzhumuqin again and launched a rebellion, Kangxi, who received the report from the palace, thought that Galdan was fierce and ambitious, and since he had entered it, he had to fight back. This kid who wants to open a dyeing room with a little color is really tired and crooked, so he has a golden mouth, and with a big stroke of the pen, he declares, "I want to conquer Galdan in person."
